Taylor's Quinta de Vargellas
Product Code: 30013
A traditionally made single quinta Port with aromas of violets and a dense and concentrated palate.
Our Opinion Taylor's bought the Vargellas Estate in 1896 and Vargellas wines have formed the backbone of its vintage ports ever since. The vineyards contain incredibly old, low yielding vines and a library of different port grapevines, each one adding something different to the mix.
Tasting Notes Fruity, intense and complex on the nose with aromas of violets, and a dense and concentrated palate full of black fruit.
Wine Maker
Method of Production The grapes are picked by hand and only the best fruit is chosed. It is then placed in granite treaders and trod in the traditional way, whilst a musician plays to help people keep time as they tread the grapes. This method extracts tannin, flavour and colour from the skins. Mid-fermentation, some grape spirit is added to the wine, boosting the alcohol content and preserving the sugar levels. It is then transferred to oak casks and matured for 2 years.
